I'm not sold on the plant ones. I saw a long thread on instagram of a botanist rubbishing on of the "recognise a plant via a photo" apps. I wish I could remember which one it was...

Bird Net has never let me down though (in Europe at least - not tried further afield).

One reason I like the BritishTrees app is that it doesn’t use or relay on photographs. You’re asked to choose from various characteristics of the tree and the more information you provide, the better the app can narrow down the list of possibilities.
